I was driving when my speedometer dropped to 0 and my car began jerking forward. Everything works normal in reverse. No codes came up on OBD2 scanner.

This happens when the VSS sensor goes out. here is the location so you can check the electrical connector and if it is okay replace the sensor which should fix the problem. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
